A great Action flick, displaying a convincing plot, and Depth

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2005)

This is one of the best movies I have seen! It was really well made, the acting was excellent, the plot was convincing and realistic, and there were some very memorable action scenes contained within too.
First of all, you start out seeing the daily lives of the supposed survivors of a virus of some sort that wiped out man kind. The survivors are all living in this facility, and cannot go outside for fear of contamination. There is a daily lottery, and the winners get to go to "The Island," which is supposed to be a really nice place. Ewan McGregor, one day, finds a moth flying around in the mechanical part of the building, where he was visiting his friend that lives there, and then eventually discovers that there is no "contamination" outside, and that the people that win the lottery to go to the Island are really just being killed.
He and Scarlette Johansson escape from the facility (after some pretty intense scenes, and close calls to dying), and find out that they are just clones that act as extensions to their "owner's" lives. Rich people that are sick spend a lot of money to have these clones made, and when they need them, the clones can give them blood or organs, or whatever they need.
It was a really neat movie, to see how it all unravels. Scarlette and Ewan are a great duo, and the special effects in this movie are amazing!
A great all around movie!
